Provider Web Portal Quick Guide - Billing from the Correct Account

Last updated: 08/21/2020
 

In the Provider Web Portal, claims will deny if not logged into the correct account to submit claims appropriately.

For example: If enrolled as a Nursing Facility and a Home and Community-Based Services(HCBS) provider, providers will have two (2) provider IDs, and should have two (2) Provider Web Portal accounts. Even a delegate, with claims access, needs to use the "switch provider" feature to select the correct account to bill under.

Nursing facility claims need to be billed from the nursing facility account, and HCBS Respite claims need to be billed from the HCBS account. Otherwise, claims will be denied.

Follow the instructions below to see which account is logged in. There are also instructions for changing the display name, to make it easier to identify which account is logged in going forward.

  1. Login to Provider Web Portal as the Provider (Not as a Delegate).

    The blue bar at the top of the page will show basic information but does not show provider type or address.

  2. Don't see the Provider Maintenance link?
    Being able to register for the Web Portal is NOT an indicator that the correct Provider ID is being used.

    If not logged in as a delegate, and the Manage Accounts and Provider Maintenance links are missing, then the account was registered using the wrong Provider ID, or registered using the NPI and the Web Portal linked to the wrong account.

    How to fix it:
    All that is needed to do is register for a new Provider Web Portal account, using the correct Provider ID (not the NPI). Don't know the correct Provider ID? Call 1-844-235- 2387.

    Nothing else needs to be done with the incorrect Provider Web Portal account, just stop using it.

    Another indicator that the wrong ID is being used is in My Profile → Roles.

    "Provider Restricted" means the account registered using the wrong ID, or that this provider isn't enrolled.
